why was i expecting hella romance loool
this was interesting and enjoyable though, reminded me of “the dangers of smoking in bed” stories by mariana enríquez.
“sacks”, “gazebo” and “i could see the smallest things” were my favourite :)

It can be bleak and depressing and unemotional but so, so good. Even if I don't particularly like the stories, or the outlook, it's easy to appreciate the skill in the collection. They each build and fit together, while still being unique and new. Captivating, twists I didn't expect, and left you hanging and wondering in others.

Impeccable collection of short stories. Some made no sense, some were left unfinished, and some had me hanging on every word and I loved it all. I could reread this book multiple times and get something different out of it each time I read it

Final book of the year, thanks Birdman for getting me to finally read this, and totally going to read this again.
